PhoneFactor discusses Major Vulnerability in SSL Authentication

Ron talks with Steve Dispensa of PhoneFactor to discuss the recently announced vulnerability of SSL relating to a gap in authentication that can result in a man-in-the-middle attack. This vulnerability was discovered by Marsh Ray and Steve Dispensa and efforts have been quietly underway for some time to get both open source and commercial software patched before this became a known issue.
